Do you experience persistent back pain even when you take medication? Have you lost weight only to gain it back? Most likely, you’ve been trying to relieve your symptoms but haven’t been able to find the root cause of your health challenges.
With functional medicine, you can benefit from a healthcare framework that identifies and treats the root causes of your imbalances and poor health. At Happy Hormone Cottage, functional medicine is foundational to the care we provide to our clients. Learn what functional medicine is about and how you can benefit from it.
Functional medicine targets the root causes of disease and poor health, not just a patient’s symptoms. This medical specialty emphasizes understanding the cause of a condition by spending time with patients and reviewing their medical history. This can include identifying environmental, genetic, or lifestyle factors that may cause or contribute to a health condition.
Unfortunately, some medical practitioners treat a patient’s outward symptoms rather than dig deeper to uncover the underlying dysfunctions that contribute to pain, hormonal imbalance, or other problems. Overlooking these fundamental factors can risk a resurgence of an illness or injury.
Imagine a doctor prescribes a weight loss medication to help you shed excess pounds. That medication might be less effective if your provider doesn’t take the time to investigate the underlying causes of your weight gain, such as lifestyle choices or genetic factors that could be influencing it. A functional medical doctor would examine these root contributors and may suggest medication and other strategies if they can effectively address what makes losing weight difficult for you.
Another benefit of functional medicine is that it treats each person as an individual. Since your condition is unique, your therapy options should be tailored specifically to your needs.
